After Mu Shanhai listened to the old man's words, the wariness in his eyes also changed a lot, he had a trace of curiosity about the old man, and his tone was as calm as possible, not a gaffe: "You just say, what is the matter." ”

"That is, I can help you suppress the Eight Desolation Sword Qi, but the condition is that you must refine a certain amount of Eight Desolation Sword Qi and then hand it over to me, how about it?" The old man smiled, his eyes fixed on Mu Shanhai.

Mu Shanhai wrinkled his brows slightly, hesitated slightly, and responded: "However, our Sword Pavilion was stolen, and the other elder will take a close look at the Thousand Machines Sword Spring, and I have no bargaining chips in my hand to talk to you." ”

"Don't kid me, do you think I don't know? As I said earlier, you can't hide it. You planned all of this to frame the other Elder, right? The means are really specialized. But I'm not going to be so stupid as to make your story public. I just want to tell you that the necessary condition for cooperation is to be honest with each other. I'll show up when I need to, and I'll help you in the shadows other times. ”

The old man's confident eyes seemed to see through Mu Shanhai's whole body, and these words made Mu Shanhai's originally calm heart continue to ripple.

"Why are you helping me?" Mu Shanhai had no choice but to ask about the old man's intentions.

The old man's dark and hollow eyes finally revealed a little light, and he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Then I'll explain it, actually, I want to pull you into our organization and become one of us."

"What organization?" Mu Shanhai looked a little surprised, what the old man said made him feel a little abrupt.

"The taste of the killer is not pleasant, right?" The corners of the old man's mouth curled deeper, but he didn't laugh out loud.

...... killer?! How could he know everything? That dark memory, and the pain that I didn't go away from, were intertwined and condensed in my heart again as they were at the beginning, and the guilt was not diminished from the past.

"You hate your fellow disciples for once laughing at your weakness and isolating your existence, and in the entire Sword Pavilion, only your master discovered your talent and cultivated it. but because of thy misfortune, he died by thy sword. Can you suppress this kind of grief and indignation? ”

The old man talked word by word, leisurely. Every word fell, like a knife, and slashed at Mu Shanhai's heart.

“…… These! How would you know! Mu Shanhai was sad, his throat was choked, and he lost his voice in pain.

"It is not surprising that there are painful despairs, tragic feats of this world, and we will all know about them without any remorse. What we are collecting is the original intention of the destitute people. In order not to be trapped by this, our ambitions will eventually be connected. By then, all the holes will be filled. Working together, why worry about not being able to achieve anything? ”

"What you want, we have here, don't you need recognition? Why let those earthly people, ignorant people, recognize you? We can give you everything you want. ”

Listening to the old man's subdued and impassioned words, Mu Shanhai was a little moved, he was trembling all over, his throat was a little hot, although the old man told him that "they know everything about pain", but he still didn't understand what it meant.

But what the old man described was exactly what he longed for.

"What do you need me to do?" Mu Shanhai's heart has undergone some changes.

The old man listened, but smiled.

"We don't need you to do anything at all, remember, from the moment I say this, we're in a relationship of companionship, not a relationship of cooperative interests, you know?"

Mu Shanhai was in a trance, and then nodded.

When the old man saw Mu Shanhai's reaction, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes, and he had that slightly hoarse and low voice, and his tone was pale and empty:

"Since we are companions, we cannot bear betrayal. We attach great importance to our companions, and we will not do anything to be sorry for our companions, and we will never allow anything to damage the honor of the organization. ”

"You just need to do your own thing, by the way, remember that the Eight Desolation Sword Qi is an extremely important thing to our organization, as a member of the organization, you must contribute to the organization no matter what!"

"I ...... I understand. Mu Shanhai calmed down and agreed.

"That's good, at least, you have a sense of responsibility." The old man smiled and nodded.

"It's not easy for us to see each other for too long, and you should go about your business."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the cave in front of him disappeared in an instant, and the two returned to the top of the Hanging Sky Peak.

Subsequently, Mu Shanhai also left on his own, he saw the old man's means of reaching the sky, and he also had his own plans in his heart.

……

Fang Jingxuan was practicing swordsmanship on Xuanjian Peak, and Xueqi wandered around with Qiankun, and also came to Xuanjian Peak.

Fang Jingxuan heard the sound of talking and laughing, and also took this opportunity to stop and prepare to take a rest. When he turned around and saw that it was Qiankun and Xueche, he immediately turned his head and sat down on the stone steps, pretending not to see.

Fang Jingxuan's reaction, Qiankun also saw it just now, and his smile was also retracted, but he still walked towards Fang Jingxuan and snorted coldly.

"Oh, this is not a senior brother, why are you still practicing swords alone, it's really lonely and lonely." Qiankun swaggered and paced in front of Fang Jingxuan, his tone very funny.

Fang Jingxuan was originally more disgusted with Qiankun and a few outsiders, but when he saw Qiankun come up to tease him, and he spoke so badly, Fang Jingxuan was even more dissatisfied.

Fang Jingxuan chose not to ignore Qiankun, this is a guest that Mu Shanhai asks to be treated well, in case of a conflict with him, it is only himself who suffers. If you don't hear it, you can endure it!

Seeing Fang Jingxuan like this, Xueche also smiled awkwardly, and stepped forward to unravel this stiff atmosphere.

"Senior brother, do you still suspect that Qiankun is the murderer? You're too persistent, I thought you were joking. After speaking, he spread his hands helplessly.

"Now it seems that they are actually the most suspicious, right?" Fang Jingxuan snorted, seeing that Qiankun was here, he was also blunt.

"You ......"

Qiankun just wanted to go up and reason with him, but was stopped by Xueqi, and then the other party Jingxuan said: "Senior brother! Think about it, last night, I talked with Qiankun and them for so long, and then the two of us stayed with my stepfather for so long, Qiankun and they didn't have a chance to come out at all, how could they steal? Besides, they are also newcomers, and they have never heard of this matter, which can even rule out their possibilities! ”

Xueqi spoke hard to Fang Jingxuan's reasoning and tried his best to defend Qiankun.

When Fang Jingxuan heard this, the hostility in his eyes disappeared and he was much smoother.

Xueche paused for a moment and continued: "In my opinion, there is only one person who is suspicious! Then his face darkened.

After Fang Jingxuan heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he pointed to the blood cut, a little excited.

"Elder Kong!"

At this time, Kong Douxuan also entered the Tibetan Sword Blade, and when he saw that a large part of the treasure of heaven and earth in the cave had been looted, he couldn't help but hide his face.

He was about to enter the depths of the valley cave again, and as he walked, he looked at the stone wall, and found that all the steles and murals had no words recorded on them, and they were blank. It stands to reason that there should be no wordless monument here? Kong Douxuan realized the oddity.

In the entire valley, only some elixir recipes, merit book fragments and some heavenly treasures are still there. Kong Dou Xuan suddenly pondered: What did these thieves steal?

He went back the way he came, and walked towards the exit of the valley, and saw a fragment of writing on the wall:

Walk with the sword, and turn the sword into a sword. The sword order is out, and ten thousand swords are returned.

These sixteen characters of Empty Douxuan had been seen in the old classics of the Sword Pavilion, but he had not been able to solve the mystery for a long time.

As soon as he walked out of the valley, he heard a voice not far away:

"Elder Kong, it's really you!"
